119: Huangfu Loulan

"Esteemed guests, next up for auction is an extraterrestrial meteorite from ancient times, with a starting bid of one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

Liu Yanmei's charming voice began the introduction.

When the extraterrestrial meteorite was brought up, Yang Lingchen was utterly shocked.

Because this was no ordinary extraterrestrial meteorite, but an illusory void stone.

The illusory void stone could not only enhance the Rank of weapons, but it also had a function unknown to anyone: it was one of the essential Materials for making a Teleportation Array.

With this illusory void stone, Yang Lingchen was confident he could set up a Teleportation Array connecting the Northern Profound Region to the Central Region.

Of course, the prerequisite was to first set up a Teleportation Array in the Central Region, and then a corresponding one in the Northern Profound Region for it to be considered successfully established.

"I bid one hundred and fifty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

A young man wearing the robes of a Medicine King Valley Core Disciple spoke, his voice filled with determination to win.

"I bid two hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

"I bid three hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

..."One million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." A curvaceous young woman spoke.

As soon as this curvaceous young woman spoke, the scene instantly fell silent, and no one else bid.

"Brother-in-law, look, it's that beauty!"

Ouyang Yunfei said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the young woman.

Looking at Ouyang Yunfei's excited expression, Yang Lingchen was speechless.

This child had lived in the Immortal Sword Sect since childhood, doing nothing but Cultivate. At sixteen, he hadn't even held a woman's hand. Now that he had come to the Phoenix Divine Dynasty, he was like a bird just released from its cage, incredibly excited.

"Two million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." Yang Lingchen said indifferently, his expression firm.

"Three million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." The young woman continued to raise the price, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Five million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." Yang Lingchen raised the price again without hesitation.

"Eight million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." At this point, the young woman frowned and said.

She knew that Yang Lingchen must have recognized the illusory void stone; otherwise, he wouldn't have bid so high.

"Your Highness, eight million has already far exceeded the price of the illusory void stone."

At this moment, an old man beside the young woman spoke, his expression a little worried.

"Elder Liu, which Sect is that boy from? How dare he bid against This Princess." The young woman said coldly, her beautiful face full of displeasure.

This young woman was precisely the Ninth Princess of the current Emperor, Huangfu Loulan.

"From the clothes of the young man next to him, they should be Immortal Sword Sect Disciples." Elder Liu said, his tone very respectful.

"Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones." This time, Yang Lingchen directly called out his bottom price, his expression serious.

"How outrageous! How audacious to dare to snatch the illusory void stone from This Princess!" Huangfu Loulan's delicate face showed a hint of anger, her eyes filled with fury.

"Your Highness, calm your anger. That boy probably doesn't know Your Highness. It's fine to let him keep the illusory void stone for now. It won't be too late for Your Highness to take it back after leaving the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce." Elder Liu said, trying to soothe Huangfu Loulan's emotions.

"This Young Master has bid ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Is there anyone who will bid higher?" Liu Yanmei said charmingly, her gaze sweeping across the crowd.

"Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, first call."

"Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, second call."

"Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, third call."

"Sold!"

Ultimately, Yang Lingchen successfully acquired the illusory void stone for ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Brother-in-law, that's ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! You just spent it like that?" Ouyang Yunfei said in shock, his mouth wide open, unable to believe what he saw.

"Aren't Spirit Stones meant to be spent?" Yang Lingchen said indifferently, as if ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was just a small sum to him.

"But brother-in-law, you just said you'd let me show off, but I haven't even started, and you've already spent all the Spirit Stones." Ouyang Yunfei said, feeling helpless and disappointed.

"Cough cough, next time, next time I'll definitely let you show off to your heart's content." Yang Lingchen chuckled awkwardly, feeling a bit helpless himself.

The subsequent auctions held no meaning for Yang Lingchen, so he pulled Ouyang Yunfei and left the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Yang Lingchen and Ouyang Yunfei walked out of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, a curvaceous woman gracefully approached them.

"Brother-in-law, look, that beauty is coming over."

Ouyang Yunfei said excitedly, his heart instantly racing.

"Put away your lecherous face, or you'll get hit."

Yang Lingchen frowned, his expression turning serious.

He could tell that this curvaceous woman's strength was at the Peak of the ninth layer of the King Realm, and she was followed by several guards, one of whom was an old man whose strength Yang Lingchen couldn't discern at all.

"Beautiful big sister, may I ask why you've stopped me?" Yang Lingchen asked, a hint of confusion on his face, but he already had an answer in his heart.

He knew this woman was probably after his illusory void stone.

"Boy, hand over the illusory void stone, and This Princess will let you leave." Huangfu Loulan said coldly, her eyes full of menace.

"Holy crap, this woman is actually a Princess, no wonder she dares to openly rob me." Yang Lingchen secretly frowned, lamenting his misfortune.

"So it is Your Highness the Princess. Greetings, Your Highness the Princess."

Yang Lingchen and Ouyang Yunfei both cupped their fists and bowed, their expressions very respectful.

"Less nonsense. Here are ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. This Princess is buying your illusory void stone." Huangfu Loulan said coldly, throwing ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on the ground.

"Damn Old Hag, is being a Princess so great?!"

"Damn it, I'll get you eventually."

"No, this kind of thing is better suited for Yunfei."

Yang Lingchen felt incredibly depressed. He had finally spent ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to buy the illusory void stone, and it hadn't even warmed his hands yet. He was naturally reluctant to hand it over just like that, but for now, he had no choice, as the situation was beyond his control.

Helplessly, Yang Lingchen could only say, "Your Highness the Princess, this illusory void stone was actually bought by my brother here. However, before entering the auction, my brother fell in love with Your Highness at first sight, which is why he borrowed money from me to buy this illusory void stone. His purpose was to present it to Your Highness the Princess; how could he possibly accept Your Highness's Spirit Stones?"

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he handed the ten thousand Spirit Stones and the illusory void stone to Ouyang Yunfei, saying, "Brother Yunfei, why aren't you taking it to the beautiful Princess Your Highness?"

Knowing that the other party was a Princess, Yang Lingchen realized his illusory void stone couldn't be kept. If he didn't hand it over, he might lose his life today, so it was better to hand it over readily.

"Oh... oh..."

Ouyang Yunfei quickly reacted, hurriedly took the illusory void stone and the ten thousand Spirit Stones, then walked up to Huangfu Loulan.

"I am Ouyang Yunfei. Greetings, Your Highness the Princess." Ouyang Yunfei said, then handed over the illusory void stone, his face full of fawning smiles.

"Hmm."

Huangfu Loulan glanced at Ouyang Yunfei, then took the illusory void stone and left the scene, not giving them another look.

Watching Huangfu Loulan's retreating figure, Ouyang Yunfei said smugly, "Brother-in-law, she just spoke to me."

"Indeed, Brother Yunfei, I said I'd let you show off. Wasn't that a satisfying display?" Yang Lingchen showed a faint smile.

"It was satisfying, but brother-in-law! This display came at quite a cost! That was ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!" Ouyang Yunfei said with a pained expression, his heart filled with reluctance.

"It's fine, we're so close, I'll give you a twenty percent discount. Just return eight million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to me, and the two million will be my personal sponsorship for your dating." Yang Lingchen said, a sly smile on his face.

"What? Make me return eight... eight million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?" Ouyang Yunfei looked at Yang Lingchen in a daze, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"What's wrong? It cost ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for you to show off, and I'm asking for eight million back. Do you have a problem with that?" Yang Lingchen said, his expression turning serious.

"You're swindling me! Anyway, I don't have Spirit Stones, but I do have one life to give." Ouyang Yunfei said grumpily, his heart filled with anger.

"Alright, then I'll take your life. From now on, you have to listen to me!" Yang Lingchen laughed, his eyes full of mischief.

"That, I can do."

Ouyang Yunfei said, feeling somewhat unwilling, but also knowing he had no other choice.
